Really? If that is the case, then I want a total opt in/opt out option at any given time. And who are we suppose to call if we are unhappy with the provided services? The Better Business Bureau?

We know, from the past, the federal government doesn’t give us an opt in/opt out option for programs like Social Security and Medicare; and they are working out so well that many of us will likely never see a dime of the money they have “involuntarily” taken from our income.

At all costs, a single-payer system must be rejected by The American people! Otherwise, the outcome will likely be the same as the rest of these programs, and with much worse ramifications.

Precisely, what your parents went through, is what any person in business would go through, in a single-payer system, if they get buyer’s remorse. The average employee would have absolutely no choice whatsoever, in a single-payer, income tax, subsidized plan. Not to mention, the cost, inevitably, will go up overtime.

Some plan, in some fashion, could workout, but I would insist that I have the option to pay for it out of my net income ONLY. All American people, even the most liberal among us, must NOT allow the federal government to start another program that gives them the power to extort more money, involuntarily, from our income.

Please, hold on to and treasure what freedoms we have left. The more power you give the federal government to tax your income, the more freedom the states, and we the people of the states, will loose.

On the tax end of it: if you don't pay your taxes, you are levied heavy penalties and interest, and then if you continue not to pay, they will empty out your checking, savings and anything else they can find. I would imagine eventually you would go to jail. I know my parents had an IRS problem years ago and it was horrible! They literally made my parent's life a living hell.
